HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.iDate: October 18, 2010 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF FORFEITED VEHICLES Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution Authorizing the Sale of Forfeited Vehicles. Approval of the motion will result in the sale of forfeited vehicles. Overview The 1997 Legislature made DWI enforcement more stringent by enabling cities to seize vehicles that are involved in certain violations. The seized vehicle may be held a minimum of 30 days prior to the expiration of the owner's right to challenge the forfeiture. Vehicles the City currently has in storage may be disposed of in accordance with Minnesota Statute Section 169.1217, Subd. 9. City staff is recommending that the vehicles be sold at the State auction. Primary Issues to Consider • Value of vehicles. The City historically has received the highest value for vehicles at the State Auction due to the high number of bidders. Supporting Information • List of vehicles to be sold — refer to Resolution. Item No. Financial Impact: $ unknown. Budget — anticipates sale of forfeited vehicles Related Documents (CIP, ERP, etc.): Notes: 2010.
